We replaced a HP Laserjet 401dne when it reported paper jam that could note be fixed with the 4001dn. The new Laserjet is faster, also has double sided printing, and is straightforward in its operation. Installation was simple with connecting the power cord and the Cat 5 computer cable. The printers was rapidly recognized and the installation software quickly downloaded. Next is to see if it will also last 10 years as the HP 401dne printer did.
This printer is working well for us. It is compact and can fit on smaller desk areas. It easily handles several print jobs. We have it networked to 7 computers. It's been a great purchase for our library.
So far the printer is working as advertised. Setup was simple, although I am not sure why I was instructed to connect via the HP Smart Print App. It wasn't clear what would happen if I connected without it, nor why I need it. I suspect it is just means for HP to track my printing. I have only printed to standard letter paper. The print speed is outstanding. The printed pages are clear, but not overly sharp. The main negative to date is the high noise level when printing. Bottomline, to review this type of product is sort pointless. Ask me in three years after the warranty terminates how the printer is doing, or how if it is still working after 11 years, similar to my P1606dn laser printer which is still printing as it did when I purchased it.
Horrible for office setting. Goes to sleep and will not turn back on or respond to print. Can only extend sleep settings from default 1 minutes to 60 minutes, and cannot turn sleep settings off.
